2black1s ..... Your answer for the quote from ord sgt is why i dont have a lot of time for people like you ...... Everyone finds their level eventually at their pace maybe you should have the road runner as your avatar .... MEEP! MEEP!

 

I am not sure if I understand by what some of you mean by moving over and let you pass.
I don't ride in big groups going slow, but if I did, I think it is up to a faster bike who comes up on us to pass at his own risk just like a car would. I would feel bad if I waved someone on in my lane and he/she caused an accident. I would not know there riding skills, nor he/she ours. I also would pass the slower individual in my group if it was causing a back up, and then pull over at the next safe area to stop and let the traffic through. All bets are off if it is a nice back country road, if you need to go fast find a highway. And no, I don't consider myself arrogant or selfish.

 

I agree and I've seen them. If you can't drive your motorcycle at least with the flow of traffic, it's time to park it.

 

Ever taken one? They're a good way to build confidence in new and old riders alike in doing something that will translate to faster speeds in an environment where dropping the bike is more likely to cause much less damage to the bike and rider as well as teaching riding theory and how to stay visible and safe on the road.

I've taken one and I may be teaching them next spring as a way to make some cash and help some bike nubs. You'll generally not catch me going under the speed limit and when I'm on the sportbike, well what's a speed limit besides a way for states to make money?

 

Moving over means exactly what it says on the tin! ...

 

See what happens when you start ranting on a motorcycle forum e-gads

Nothing to see here............move on

 

If you can't maintain at least the posted speed limit then you need to get off that road till your skills and confidence are better. Having impatient people stack up behind a slow person puts everyone at risk. I don't like meeting traffic that is stacked behind a Sunday driver or group of Sunday riders.

 

It can also get you an "Impeding Traffic" ticket in most states. The language in most state's statutes reads "Posted Speed" NOT "Speed Limit" for this reason.

 

huh? what practice on the xbox?

i don't have a problem with people who want to go slower than the limit. i just pass them when i can. thats what those little dashed lines on the road are for.

the people that i can't stand are the ones that cannot ride a steady speed. to fluctuate between 50-60 mph drives me nuts.

the problem is that even if the group was riding at the 'posted speed', y'all would still be arguing the same point

 

Perhaps all those who think that riders should practice in their garage until their skill and confidence level's , and there are a few of you now should take an trip back down memory lane when you all first started to ride .... i bet you were worth watchin all the basic mistakes you made that even some of us still make me included today .... then again maybe you didn't and just become what you are today! .... MEEP! MEEP!
